John Lithgow walked so James McAvoy could run
Patrick WillemsApr 13, 2020De Palma saw Peeping Tom and was like "hmm... it's good, but not enough John Lithgow in sunglasses and a trench coat talking to himself and stealing babies." Never change Brian.
Josh LewisAug 8, 2013"I did nothing. I don't even exist." De Palma's toying with cinematic subjectivity and where we place ourselves inside our own self-image, to which he can't resist adding some self-parody. There's an intentional denial of release here in almost every sequence. The expected…

Lithgow in full psycho mode for De Palma, what could be better? The tracking shot with Gregg Henry, Francis Sternhagen, and Tom Bower in this is insane.
Will Menakercarter nix: the unauthorized autobiography reclaiming yr kinky thriller edge after years of costume flops & milquetoast hits (inc. the straightest/squarest movie ever made THE UNTOUCHABLES) but waiting 6 mos after basic instinct is like smoking next to the no-smoking sign,…

Vera DrewJul 13, 2016This movie feels like an inside joke, but one that I'm in on, so I'm okay with that. Considering most critics/general audiences inability to even guess at authorial intent, John Lithgow's performance is undeniably brave in that it's so campy one might mistake it for an…

When teamed with her former husband, the director James Cameron, Hurd produced some of the most memorable action films of the Eighties, including The Terminator and Aliens. Her first collaborative effort with new husband De Palma, however, has produced one of the worst efforts from a major talent in a long while.
